The Spaniard, Carlos Alcaraz won the 6th title in the season at Cincinnati Open on Monday after rival Jannik Sinner was forced to give up after only 23 minutes in the final.
The men's singles finals Cincinnati Open 2025 is a very worthy competition between the two best players in the world at the present time, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who just competed in the Wimbledon final not long ago. However, contrary to the expectations of the fans, this competition took place quite quickly after only 5 games with a total time … 23 minutes.
In hot weather conditions in Cincinnati, Sinner completely down. Even in the first serve game, the Italian tennis player made 3 serve errors one of the 4 balls, so that Alcaraz easily broke the game. Everything continued to take place badly with the number one player in the world, when he made a lot of errors. Between the games, Sinner walked heavily, the face was flushed, and the more he hit the strength from his feet.
With Alcaraz, determined to reclaim the debt to lose in the Wimbledon final to help the Spaniard play very excited, making Sinner completely inferior. When being led 0-4, Sinner called the medical staff to enter the yard, then continued to play. However, after a double serve in the next game, the ratio extended to 0-5, the world's number one player decided to stop the match and accept losing.
With the 22nd title at the tournament level, Alcaraz also strengthened the ambition to win the No. 1 position at the end of the year by PIF – the title he finally achieved in 2022. He took the 1,890 points at the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin.
“I am extremely, extremely sorry for disappointing you,” Sinner told fans. “Since yesterday I was not well. I thought I would improve tonight, but the situation was worse. I tried to play, trying to play at least a small match, but I couldn't stand it anymore, so I was very sorry.”
With this defeat, the series of 26 consecutive victories on the hard field of Sinner has officially ended, and now he faces a quick recovery process before defending the US Open title. The possibility of the world's No. 1 player to attend the content of the couple, where he will stand side by side with Katerina Siniakova on Tuesday, maybe being questioned.
“This is not the way I want to win, I just want to apologize, I understand your feelings right now,” Alcaraz told Sinner. “As I said many times, he was a true champion and I am sure that after these situations, you will return stronger, as you always do. That's what the true champions do. I'm sorry and will return stronger.”

But now, the 22 -year -old Spanish tennis player has first touched the championship trophy at Ohio, marking the title of his 8th ATP Masters 1000, more than any other player playing outside Novak Djokovic (40).
